For someone with the reputation of being a hard a@@, I really liked his first public message to the guys being one of positivity.

I think he's trying to get them to believe in their abilities again. He's been talking about how good the team is and mentioning the stanley cup for reason.
Guys like Johnny and Monahan used to have a swagger in their play. Hopefully Darryl can help them get that back. They need to believe they can compete with and beat teams with players like McDavid, Matthews, etc. I think they've lost a lot of confidence since the Colorado series.
